Cheesy Orzo Pilaf

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...I bought lamb chops for our holiday dinner, but because I was unsure of the number I'd be feeding, I ended up with more chops than guests at the table. I decided to grill the remainder of the chops tonight. Those we had for the holiday were delicious and I wanted to serve these with something that would compliment, rather than overpower, their marvelous flavor. I decided to make an endive and watercress salad and a very cheesy orzo pilaf. I can attribute the salad to Thomas Keller, but identifying the parentage of the orzo is next to impossible. Rachael Ray did a version of this recipe at least five years ago and since that time it has appeared in various guises on numerous cooking sites. I lack the wisdom of Solomon and have no easy test to establish paternity, so I'm just going to move along and pretend the orzo is a new version of rice pilaf. It is very easy to do and can be on the table in 15 minutes. Chances are you have all the ingredients you need to make this in your pantry, and, if not, they can all be found in any large grocery store. It is a perfect dish to serve with grilled meat or poultry and I know you'll enjoy it. Here's the recipe.

Orzo is one of those perfect foods. Quick and delicious. I have never done it with cheese before but I've got some in my pantry waiting for a purpose in life... as soon as I finish my lasagna... I'm ready to try this great looking recipe!

I love this recipe. Can't wait to make it for my husband. I have not been cooking all that much lately due to traveling but am itching to get back into my kitchen and grilling and playing with FLOUR:) Your passion for cooking always motivates me.Joyce
